Sadie's playing volleyball in Duluth, Meghan joined the swim team in Bayfield and Charlie's developed a very busy social calendar in Washburn. Given the potential for a massive scheduling fiasco, quick and easy dinners are the name of the game. The criteria is simple: it needs to be relatively decent tasting and can't require much beyond a sheet tray and a pre-heated oven. This chicken fits the bill perfectly— marinate the chicken overnight, add a rice cooker full of jasmine rice into the equation and I am a picture of efficiency....kind of. There are still the issues of clean underwear, extra toilet paper and the 42 different kinds of mustard in the fridge but at least I can get dinner on the table before 8 pm, sometimes.

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Roast for about 30 minute or until an instant read thermometer registers 165 degrees. Serve immediately.
